Kids in the Hall at the Grove

[Ghoulish Delight]

Unbelievable. After all these years, still bloody hilarious. New material, old favorites, every bit of it funny.

Best moment of the night was between Scott Thompson and Bruce McCullough as Kathy and Cathy. They walk out on stage and Bruce's mic (the kind taped to the side of his head) is cutting out. So a roadie sneaks up behind him and hands him a standard handheld microphone. They both kinda look at each other for a beat, then Scott: "Should I pull my vibrator out too? No, I'll just straddle this chair." And then 5 minutes of riffing about the mic, then back to the scene.

All that said...the Grove at Anaheim sucks hardcore.

It all made sense when we looked up the history and learned that it opened as (I'm not making this up) "Tinseltown Studios: An Awards Show Themed Restaurant". The place is a piece of sh*t, the seating is in flat tiers so they can do dinner-shows instead of stadium style or even just a standard sloped house. So if you're stuck in the back of one of the tiers (like we were), you're f*cked. Spent the whole show bouncing around our seats trying to see.

Retardedly, they could solve a lot of that problem simply by raising the stage by a foot or 2. The closest seats were far enough back from the stage that it wouldn't be an issue, and the people in the back would be able to actually see. Lame. And to top it off, the sound was kinda crappy. I will definitely not be paying to go back there ever again.
